Chinese AI startup, Starseek has quickly become a global focal point with the launch of its DeepSeek-R1 model.
Released as a fully open-source large language model, DeepSeek-R1 is taking the AI world by storm, offering performance on par with or even exceeding OpenAI’s top-tier models, but at a fraction of the cost.
Trained for just $5 million, it’s reported to be up to 90% cheaper than OpenAI’s most advanced models, making high-performance AI more accessible than ever before.
What sets DeepSeek-R1 apart is its advanced “reasoning” ability, allowing it to process complex questions and offer reflective, step-by-step answers.
It also includes a unique feature: web search integration, which OpenAI’s models still lack.
The combination of powerful capabilities and low costs has made DeepSeek-R1 a game-changer in the AI community, sparking widespread adoption and turning the spotlight on a startup that seemingly came from nowhere. (Source: Reuters)
